As I listen to this polka more and more, I realize "Sexy and I Know It/Thrift Shop/Get Lucky" is an incredible closing stretch. I can see this becoming a huge singalong in concert.

I know Al shows usually turn into singalongs, but this has got a big audience participation moment feel to it
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Like every other polka medley, this was hilarious and awesome! I laughed when he sang songs Call Me Maybe, Sexy And I Know It, Thrift Shop, Pumped Up Kicks and especially Gangnam Style made me laugh the way he said "Sexy LADY"! I kinda wished that Weird Al did a parody of Timber (with like Tumblr or something) but it still sounds good as a polka

Fantastic job on that! Also someone who's never seen an episode of Friendship Is Magic before, but still really enjoyed it.

Wow, this was actually the MOST RECENTLY recorded song off the album, other than Handy. That is the reason the polka is so incredibly relevant.

While I had never heard of any of the songs this album parodied before I saw the song listing (and hadn't heard any of them until this morning when I seeked them out), I actually had heard one of the songs in the medley, "Call Me Maybe". And ironically, I wasn't aware of that song until I saw the Cookie Monster viral parody "Share It Maybe".

It would have to be, considering "Timber" (the most recent song featured in the polka) only hit #1 back in January.

Nice to have a new polka so soon after the last one. My only complaints are 1) "Wrecking Ball" might go on for a little too long in the beginning, and 2) 2 or 3 more songs could've been included, since the polka does go rather fast, though that might have come at the expense of the flow, which is quite good.

What kind of rock have you been living under? Particularly with Happy, that song is everywhere.
